Brains is a drone known as the "brain unit" created by Shockwave in order to download data — but the unit decided to run away from the Decepticons. He is very smart — that's what Wheelie, his best pal, thinks anyway.

"We're not your toys and we're not your pets. We're an advanced, genius, alien race just looking for a home."
―Brains and his irony.

When Sam goes to tell N.E.S.T about the Decepticons he gets restrained, the guards detect an Energon reading in the back of the car and discover Brains and Wheelie hiding in the back seat. Wheelie surrenders. Brains tries to put up a fight but gives up and unloads his shotgun then drops it before putting his hands up.

He helps Sam, Simmons and Dutch gather information on the rising situation. When Carly comes in, Bumblebee jumps and knocks down the chandler, Brains transforms and says, "That was smooth, Bumblebee!". He then proceeds to plug his "USB" hand into a printer to print out some crucial information he discovered.

Dotm-brains&wheelie-film-1

Brains and Wheelie join the battle in Chicago, by hijacking a Decepticon fighter and crashing it into the larger Decepticon carrier ship, although the latter part was unintentional, as they were caught within a tractor beam. During the time they were on the carrier, they dropped some of the Decepticon fighters on Soundwave and several other Decepticons, saving Bumblebee, Ratchet and Dino and allowing Bumblebee to kill Soundwave. Later they venture into the heart of the carrier and proceed to "screw the ship up". When they finish sabotaging the carrier, which is descending towards the ground quite fast, Wheelie says "We had a nice run Brains, you and me." to which Brains replies "Yeah, we gonna die."

Both Wheelie and Brains survive the crashing Decepticon ship, and swim away from the wreckage.

Notes

  • He transforms into a laptop which is a Lenovo ThinkPad.
  • He is able to interact with computer accessories even when in robot mode. This is seen when he jacks his hand into a printer to print pictures in robot mode.
  • His fibre-optic "hair" seems to always be smoking.
  • When Brains and Wheelie crash the Decepticon ship, they are never shown again, but the ship didn't look damaged enough to kill them both.
    • In the novelization of the movie they survive and are able to swim away from the crash.
  • His eyes are differently shaped. One appears to be a regular blue eye while the other appears to be magnified multiple times. In fact, his whole body appears to be malformed and he hobbles when he walks.
  • His mouth is shaped like a duck bill.
  • He has a small shotgun, as seen when they're captured by NEST.
  • Total on-screen transformations: 1


You will be whole again. I promise.
I cannot remain in this unacceptable operational status!
